Computing Resources

CSUA provides computing resources to our members. A CSUA account is required to log in and use the machines. Any officer can help you set up an account. Come visit our office at 311 Soda to make an account, or come to one of our General Meetings. Questions about computing resources should be directed to root@csua.berkeley.edu

SSH access

Send an SSH key to root@csua.berkeley.edu and after confirmation, log in with your CSUA account to soda.berkeley.edu! There, you will find a fairly standard, secure install of Debian. You can use soda to help host your projects, or as a development server. If you would like some package installed, or need help with using soda, don't hesistate to contact root@csua.berkeley.edu or consult our wiki at this link. More information on setting up SSH here.

Web hosting

Place your .html files in your ~/public_html directory and they will be publicly available at soda.berkeley.edu/~$USER

Desktop Machines

We have high-quality desktop machines for you to use in 311 Soda. Please note one of our office rules: please respect the office and office equipment. Please do not eat or drink over the computing equipment.

Beer (connected to TV)
Boba
Mead
Sake
Scotch

GPU Computing on Latte

Thanks to donations from NVIDIA, CSUA has a GPU server available for public use. It features 8 NVIDIA Tesla P100 datacenter-class GPUs.
